Compared to the Prusa Mini and the KP3S, the Ender 2 Pro has a smaller build volume on the X and Y axis. 15 mm doesn’t seem too much, but considering that the aforementioned printers take a bit less space and have a bigger print volume, the Ender 2 Pro falls a bit behind. Next, it’s always a good idea to keep your print space properly illuminated as light makes starting prints, fixing your machine, and everything else so much easier. There’s no one right way to make this upgrade, but a few common ideas are using an LED bar on the top of the frame, LED strips along the sides of the printer, or attaching a light to the printhead. But as the Ender 2 Pro’s printhead is only supported by one Z-axis rail, we don’t suggest the last option because adding any more weight to the printhead could make it sag.

This saves Creality labor time and keeps the price down. But even though the assembly of the Ender 3 V2 is a bit more complicated than that of the Ender 2 Pro, it is still easy to manage. Complete assembly takes no more than 30 to 45 minutes. The most complicated part of its assembly is the X-axis with toothed belt. Print Bed Leveling On the top of the printer, there’s a handy handle which makes the printer easy to move around and even carry if needed. The free-swinging X-axis of the Ender 2 Pro has to be as light as possible to avoid vibrations. Creality has also managed this wonderfully, but this weight reduction has a somewhat negative effect on the noise level. Using the four rotating wheels of the print bed of both 3D printers, you can adjust the inclination of the print plate so that the paper can be moved with some friction between the nozzle and the print bed.No vibrations should occur during the movements of the print head, so that ringing or ghosting cannot occur. As a result, 3D printers often have sophisticated designs to make the movements as smooth as possible. The Ender 2 Pro and Ender 3 V2 are compatible with all popular slicers. However, the best standard profiles can be found in the Creality Slicer and Cura. Because the standard profiles are already very well tuned, you don’t have to calibrate too much. The two 3D printers differ only slightly in terms of printing speed. Because of the free-swinging X-axis, the printing speed (and the movement speed itself) should not be too high to avoid vibrations. Therefore, the printing speed is slightly lower than that of the Ender 3 V2. The stable design of the cantilever X-axis guarantees low-vibration movement and thus delivers high accuracy. With a single Z-axis lead screw that moves an X-axis carriage (where the printhead moves side-to-side) up and down.

Ender-2 Pro comprehensively meets your needs for ease of assembly. The product is a 90% pre-installed device. You only need to tighten 7 screws. That is it!With the Ender 2 Pro, however, you have fewer options for upgrades. The situation is different with the Ender 3 V2. Due to the huge community, there are numerous upgrades, both purchasable and printable. SLICER: The two most commonly used slicers for the Ender 2 Pro and the Ender 3 V2 are the Creality Slicer and Cura. There is little difference between the two slicers. The Creality Slicer is based on Cura. Cura is usually a bit more up-to-date in terms of features, but the Creality Slicer sometimes has better default profiles. OPERATION: The Ender 3 V2 has the edge in terms of operation. The color display is larger and the menu is clearer. You can also reach all important settings in no time with the Ender 2 Pro, but the menu of the Ender 3 V2 is arranged more sensibly and is nicer to look at.
